## What is Auvi?

Auvi turns speech into text, in real-time, entirely on your device.

Point your iPhone or iPad at a conversation and see every word as it's spoken – colour-coded by speaker, so you can follow who said what. Use it for accessibility, translation, captioning events, meetings, lectures, noisy restaurants, or conversations in another language.

No internet required. No cloud. No data collected.

KNOW WHO'S SPEAKING 
Each speaker gets their own colour, so you can follow multi-person conversations effortlessly. Works from the first word – no setup needed.

TRANSLATE AS YOU LISTEN 
Translate captions into 31 languages in real-time, entirely on your device. Tap any translated text to hear it spoken aloud. Nothing leaves your device.

TRULY PRIVATE 
Auvi processes everything on your device. Your conversations never leave your phone – no servers, no cloud, no accounts. Our App Store privacy label says "No Data Collected" because it's literally true.

WORKS EVERYWHERE 
No internet required after initial setup. Use it in meetings, at dinner, in the classroom, at the doctor's office, or anywhere you need to follow a conversation.

USE ANY MICROPHONE 
Works with the built-in mic, AirPods, Bluetooth microphones, USB-C mics, Lightning accessories, or any audio input. Auvi uses whatever microphone iOS selects – no configuration needed.

SHOW CAPTIONS ON A BIG SCREEN 
Connect via AirPlay or HDMI to display large captions on a TV or projector. Great for meetings, classrooms, and events. Your device stays as the controller.

SCAM CALL PROTECTION 
Auvi watches for conversational patterns that match known scam techniques – tax imposters, tech support scams, bank fraud, fake emergencies, and more. If something looks suspicious, you'll get a clear on-screen warning with guidance on what to do. All analysis happens on your device – nothing is shared.

TOURIST SCAM DETECTION 
Travelling? Enable tourist scam detection to watch for common in-person scams like tea house lures, taxi overcharging, fake authorities demanding fines, forced gifts, and more. Great when paired with live translation.

SUPPORTED LANGUAGES

Built for anyone who needs live captions – whether for accessibility, translation, or just keeping up. 

Inspired by a viral Reddit project that brought live captions to a deaf grandfather.
